Can anyone simplify 9-(-5) for me?

Let hh represent the number of hummingbirds and ss represent the number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony so it can survive until next year. 6h+4s > 746h+4s> 74 this year, 88 hummingbirds pollinated the colony. what is the least number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony to ensure that it will survive until next year?

For which pairs of functions is (f•g)(x)=12x? f(x)=3-4x and g(x)=16x-3 f(x)=6x2 and g(x)= 2/x f(x)= and g(x) = 144x f(x)=4x and g(x) =3x

The graph of f(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x)=-3|x| over the x-axis. which equation describes f(x)? a) f(x)=3|x| b) f(x)=|x+3| c) f(x)=-3|x| d) f(x) = - |x+3|
